Dropped down pot hole I didn't see next to curb!
Scuffed 3 spokes of the front passenger spider, with a sickening sound!
Anyboby got advice?
Can the scuffs be buffed out?
Any newish single front spiders for T350 around?
Very gutted, but the car is awesome anyway, so cheered up reasonably soon after.
Any ideas?

Depending on the severity (depth of scratches) they are repairable. At a guess £50 - £100 depending on the amount of damage.

Is it worth contacting the Council? They're supposed to maintain the roads in useable condition...

Anyone recommend someone to fix the alloy in Manchester area?
As for the council I don't think it is worth it.
Just wanted to mention how good the handling is in my T350 compared to my old Tus, unbelievable
Took out a mate for a rip on Saturday(die-hard lotus enthusiast) and he couldn't believe it, it may even convert him!

I did pretty much the same a while ago. I used (and would recommend) Wicked Wheels www.wicked-wheels.co.uk/services.shtml to refurbish 18" spider alloy wheel. They turned up on time in their truck, all completed on site for £50 ex VAT. You would never notice the wheel had been refurbished except the small TVR logo has been sprayed over.

Hope this helps
